Material Handling & Warehouse Equipment We Finance
We finance all classes of material handling and warehouse equipment — new and used:
FINANCE STRUCTURES AVAILABLE
Choose the Right Structure for Your Business
Every structure has different tax, cash flow, and ownership outcomes — we’ll help you choose the right one.
Chattel Mortgage
Own the asset from day one. Claim GST upfront and depreciation benefits. Best for GST-registered businesses who want full ownership and maximum tax efficiency on their warehouse equipment.
Finance Lease
Lower monthly payments with end-of-term flexibility — upgrade, purchase outright, or return. Ideal for businesses that need to keep up with changing warehouse technology.
Hire Purchase
Fixed payments over the agreed term with guaranteed ownership at the end. Perfect for businesses that want predictable costs and a clear path to owning their equipment outright.
Operating Lease
Off-balance-sheet financing — use the equipment for an agreed period, return or upgrade at end of term. Ideal for businesses that want to stay current with warehouse technology.
Low-Doc Finance
Minimal paperwork for qualifying businesses. Available for newer ABNs, growing distribution businesses, or operators whose tax returns don’t fully reflect current capacity.
Facility Finance
Single finance facility covering multiple pieces of equipment or a complete warehouse fit-out. One approval, one repayment, across all your material handling needs.
WE WORK FOR YOU — NOT THE BANK
WHY WAREHOUSE & LOGISTICS BUSINESSES CHOOSE FOREFRONT
We understand operational cashflow. Stock cycles, seasonal demand peaks, irregular revenue — we build repayment structures around how your business actually operates.
Specialist equipment lenders. Our panel includes lenders experienced in material handling and warehouse assets — meaning better rates and terms on forklifts, racking, and automation systems.
Used equipment specialists. We regularly finance older forklifts, conveyor systems, and racking that standard bank lenders decline.
Fast pre-approvals. Same-day pre-approvals in most cases. When you need to move quickly on a warehouse fitout or equipment purchase, we deliver certainty fast.
Australia-wide coverage. From large distribution centres to small warehousing operations — we finance material handling equipment nationally.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions Answered
Can I finance a complete warehouse fit-out?
Yes. We can structure a single finance facility covering multiple items — racking, forklifts, conveyors, and associated equipment — under one approval and one repayment. This simplifies the finance and often improves the overall rate.
Can I finance used forklifts?
Yes. We finance used and reconditioned material handling equipment. Age, condition, and hours factor into lender appetite, but we work with specialist lenders comfortable with older equipment.
How quickly can I get approval?
Pre-approval is typically same-day for most applications. Full settlement depends on documentation — most deals complete within 2–5 business days once all paperwork is received.
What brands do you finance?
All major brands — Toyota, Crown, Linde, Hyster, Yale, Jungheinrich, Clark, and more. We also finance lesser-known brands and imported equipment through specialist lenders.
